You want the story out as much as possible, and that's a fact. But you also want it accurately portrayed.

Just last week I heard a young white boy ask his mom who isn't racist what happened in plantations, she answered..."umm I'm not sure really"


That kid was excited to go to a haunted plantation house...



So yeah you want the story out as much as possible, as often as possible. The problem now is just like rap music its kind of being a cash cow, meaning soon its going to be loosely based on true life events like up and coming free state of jones, which alot of white people are super excited to see.

Can't watch movies of Black people taking abuse but doesn't mind making music about Black people taking abuse at the hands of other Black people.

Other than a couple of Albums, all of which are nearly from 20 Years ago. Albums and Songs that typically had a back story to them..... What exactly are you talking about? And why are you overlooking everything else that Snoop has done and still does?



Do you even know who Snoop Dogg is?

He is white. You know white folks only know Gin & Juice and Slim Shady songs.

Movies directly about the holocaust: Jakob the liar, the pianist, boy in the striped shirt, defiance etc, Sophie's choice , life is beautiful, triumph of the Will and other academy recognized movies

Movies about ww2 against hatred of Jews: inglorious basterds, the one with tom cruise , band of brothers, American history x, the believer

Not to mention countless history channel documentaries and TV movies.

This. If there gonna be slave movies it's gonna be by our narrative. And I still ain't watching that shyt cause it's too brutal to watch. Django was my last one.



It's bigger than just what comes out in AMC Theaters tho. That's what Snoop and literally everybody else is gettin at.

:laugh: at the bolded

But when I was like 10 or so I visited the Black Wax Museum in Baltimore. I believe every person and child should be taken through that place.

From what I remember when you first walk in you can go through a Middle Passage slave ship or choose to walk around it, I think.

I chose to walk through it and the shyt absolutely terrified me. I made my way through it as quickly as I could.

It's a great museum and a learning experience.
